Bracket for correcting dentognathic deformity

Abstract

This invention discloses a bracket for correcting dentognathic deformity including a substrate plate, a bracket body, and two working wings. The bracket body has an arch wire groove, and the two working wings are located at two sides of the arch wire groove. Each of the working wings has a ligature wire locating groove, groove bottom central lines of the ligature wire locating grooves are located on a same straight line. The bracket body has a ligature hole vertical to the arch wire groove and penetrating through the bracket body, and a vertical distance from a bottom surface of the arch wire groove to an upper surface of the substrate plate is larger than a height of the ligature hole. The bracket further has a C-shaped movable lock accessory. The placement and removement of the movable lock is convenient, greatly reducing the operation time.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This Non-provisional application claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 201210391827.0 filed on Oct. 16, 2012, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention belongs to the field of dental orthodontics and, more particularly, to a bracket for correcting dentognathic deformity.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]A bracket for correcting dentognathic deformity is an important component used in the correction of dentognathic deformity of a patient. In the traditional ligation method, the friction force between an arch wire and the bracket is relatively large, affecting the movement of teeth. To improve the above mentioned situation, a self-locking bracket has been developed and is available in the market.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a bracket for correcting dentognathic deformity with a simple and convenient operation. The bracket has a ligature wire locating groove and a ligature hole vertical to the direction of the arch wire groove, allowing for different methods of ligation. The friction force between the arch wire and the bracket or between the arch wire and the ligature wire can be adjusted to achieve different correction effects. The movable lock can be conveniently placed and removed according to therapeutic demands, reducing operation time.

Problems solved by technology

In the traditional ligation method, the friction force between an arch wire and the bracket is relatively large, affecting the movement of teeth.

The self-locking bracket reduces the friction force between the arch wire and the bracket to a certain extent, but the self-locking bracket is complicated in structure and expensive in manufacturing.

Besides, a locking plate of the self-locking bracket and the arch wire are in surface contact and in strong friction when stressed.

More importantly, the self-locking bracket is unable to precisely control the locations of the teeth.
